1 INTRODUCTION

The Smartfind S20 SRS is a personal portable AIS device. Lightweight and compact,
it is designed to be carried by all crew members and should be mounted on a
lifejacket.
When triggered, the S20 SRS transmits GPS position information to all AIS-equipped
vessels and stations within range to assist fast recovery in distress situations. Each
unit is encoded with a unique serialised ID to ensure all crew are recovered and
accounted for. To further assist in recovery, the S20 also features an ultra-bright LED
beacon. The lithium power cell offers a minimum 24 h continuous operation and a 7
year battery storage life.

2 SAFETY NOTICES

Please take time to read this manual fully before using the Smartfind S20 as it contains
important information regarding the correct use and maintenance of the product.
When mounting on a lifejacket,
ensure the S20 remains on a part
which stays out of the water, as
direct contact to the sea will
severely reduce the transmission
range.
Ensure that the blue area marked
"GPS Zone" is not obstructed or
covered in any way and always has
a clear view of the sky.
It is recommended that the Short
Test is performed monthly. Return the S20 to a service centre for battery replacement
if battery level is low.
Confirm that the battery expiry date shown is in date for the duration of intended use.
